Ubuntu – Vmware shared folder not working in ubuntu 13.10

13.10virtualizationvmware

I installed Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit in Vmware workstation 10 but the shared folder is not working in Ubuntu 13.10,while it works perfectly in Ubuntu 13.04.

I reinstalled Vmware tools several times but it doesn't work.

All other features like drag and drop is working.

Any ideas how to get it working?

I upgraded 13.04 to 13.10 and was having the same "can't access shared folders" problem.

Edit:

Found the solution Here.
I had actually previously tried this, but in my previous attempts I was installing Vmware tools 9.2 from a previous version of Vmware.

I re-untarred the Vmware tools from the mounted CD Player | Manage | Re-install VMWare Tools... applied the patch, and ran the installer script in my case: ~/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl.
I had to modify the fix.sh file in the link to point to my paths but once I did that, shared folders started working.
